You expect any company to have on payroll corporate counsel 24/7 for emergency requests in like 200 jurisdictions ?
To an extent, yes as a matter of fact, or at minimum a Registered Agent. Because in almost all of those 200 Jurisdictions, for a majority of business types (including Corporations) a Registered Agent is required by law for exactly this purpose: to receive and help your company properly respond to legal requests.

Similarly, an Authorized Agent for your business is empowered to respond to such inquiries

Even online businesses still, if they intend to register as a business entity and enjoy all that comes with registering a business, like business tax ID or EIN, they must register with a jurisdiction. Also note where I said having an attorney “or at minimum a Registered Agent” So I’m not sure what is being rebutted here.
